EVERY brick and stone and timbor in

monument OF labor erected by willing
hande aud earnest hearts in modern times
The demand OF the workingmen for inst
treatment and fair wages is right, and
should be respected. Arbitration is q
better method OF settling controversies be-
tween employo and employer than strikes
or bnycotts or brute force.
"Alight is not the synonym OF right and
should not take i.s place i'll a land Of lib.
er,y and law and free bsllott. And the
men,, who, while enjoying the
benefits ola free government, are seeking
to undermine and overthrow it, under
the guiso ol socinliom and Anarchy, must
learn that this is not tho soil ior tho
growth of their un-Ame.ican doctrines.
The lirst duty Of government is the BRO.
lection OF its citizens in their rights to life,

lows:
III goods are lost or injured while in
